Respect

R.E.S.P.E.C.T

Find out what it means to me.
Er, actually Aretha Franklin. (thats a link to the song too)


Well, lets just look at the lyrics of the song:

It would seem she is singing about how women just ask for a bit of respect in return for giving pretty much anything to people. But it would seem she is talking about it in terms of money and respect. That seems a bit wacky. Money =/= Respect, at least in my world.
But maybe to Aretha Franklin, giving somebody money meant they get respect. Honestly I'm not sure whats going on in this song. It doesn't strike me as particularly feminist, nor does it strike me as any super political movement. Maybe I'm not reading into it enough, but it really really doesn't seem to fit into the topic of feminism.


But, the song is pretty dope. I mean come on, who can't enjoy listening to that tune. It's one of the few where you can really just enjoy it regardless of the situation.
